High Quality scans of the Alien Module covers?

[plazman30]

The covers on the official PDFs of the Alien Modules are a bit "rough." Does anyone have good quality scans of the front and back covers of the books. The Solomani Rim book looks good. But the Aslan book is especially bad.

How does this look? I took the image in the PDF and spent more time than I should have cleaning it up and redoing the text.

And I redid the back cover, so it's not a 100% match. But all the original text is there.

And I did K'Kree also…

Whoops. Made a mistake on the K'Kree cover. Here is a new one.

These are nice, but you know what?

They're TOO nice. I don't recall the originals being this crisp.

I'm working on Vargr now. And the scan for that entire book is ROUGH. Good enough for reading on screen I guess, but not good enough to make a POD.

CRAP! I need to go fix that.

If it was easy, anyone could do it.

That picture of the Aslan on the back cover is bugging me. If you look at it, you can see dirt on it. Does anyone have cleaner copy of the corner of that back over image they could scan in at 300 DPI or higher?

I want to thank everyone for catching my typos. You saved my POD for coming in with typos on it.

Good work. It was nice watching the process from the beginning to the finished product. Looking forward to the Vargr!

I need a high-quality image to start with. The one in the official PDF is not great. And my attempts to clean up what's there did not go well. If someone has a decent enough copy of the Vargr book and can make a a nice 600 DPI scan of the front and back cover, I can work with that. But what I have access to is not good enough to make a decent cover.

POD order for K’kree book placed. I'll post pics when I get it in.

On a related note, the sheer volume of these books that I find for sale on the used market, and the condition of the covers tells me that everyone should cover the covers of their softcover RPG books with contact paper. The stuff is pretty cheap. easily removable, and will protect the covers from shelf wear and prevent UV light from fading the covers.

If you have Classic Traveller stuff still in good shape, get some contact paper and preserve it now.
